Spent some time on Saturday trying to get more of a head-start on Christmas shopping! Had a list of things I needed to get, and found a few more nice little things just from browsing. Still have more to go, but quite pleased with the progress so far.

A little matchy-matchy with the belt, bag and shoes today! Was a comfortable outfit for the heat, and a nice touch of colour.

Went to the movies in the morning with my mother in law and sister in law, and spent the afternoon swimming in the pool. Had Church Online in the evening. Lovely way to spend a hot Sunday!

I haven't worn this skirt in almost 2 years, last wore it January 2012. Should probably let it go, because as pretty as it is, it doesn't get a lot of wear in my wardrobe. Might hold onto it for a little longer though and see if I can wear it more often, as I love the print and it's the only silk item I own.


Last worn: plain tee, French Connection print skirt, Ninewest wedges, Balenciaga envelope clutch.

Printed Dress, Red Belt, Balenciaga Part Time | Threadless Tee, Black Skirt, Sarah Conners Python Bag

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

NecklaceHouse of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
DressJeanswest 'Mia' border print dress
Belt: op-shop find
Shoes:  Marc by Marc Jacobs patent leather logo plaque flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with GSH


Wanted a nice simple outfit for Thursday so went for a printed dress, always my go-to for office wear! Although the red in the belt doesn't match the red in the dress exactly, I thought it looked good enough.

Linking up with Friday's Fab Favourites, Friday's Fancies, What I wore to work, Casual Friday Linkup today.


Last worn: geometric print dress, red belt, patent MbMJ flats, Balenciaga Part Time bag.



Here's what I wore to work for Casual Friday today:

Sunglasses: pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
TeeThreadless "Ambition Killed The Cat" girly tee in maroon
Skirt: Jeanswest 'Helena' black jacquard skirt
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
BagSarah Conners python bag in ebony


Trying something a little different for a casual Friday! Tried to step out of my comfort zone a little and not wear jeans. Also gave me the opportunity to wear this skirt that I haven't worn in a while, and one of my many Threadless tees that don't get much wear. Although there will be days I fall back on simple highly repeated pieces (like Thursday's outfit), I'm trying to make a bit of an effort to wear more of my wardrobe lately. Doesn't make sense to have lots of clothes and hardly wear them all.
